LangGraph + LangSmith
Built in: 9 of 18A code-first agent engineering stack: open-source LangGraph for durable, controllable agents, with LangSmith adding observability, evals, deployment and the no-code Fleet.
The short version
you want business users building agents and workflows, policy rules on every tool call today, and document review, browser robots, phone agents and ROI reporting without custom builds.
you have a strong engineering team that wants low-level control of agent graphs, and you plan to build the business-facing pieces yourselves.
Why teams pick ZeaIQ
LangSmith's LLM Gateway is in public beta and covers model calls; tool and MCP gateways are planned. ZeaIQ enforces policy rules on every tool call now.
In the LangChain stack, document processing, voice, computer use and process design are custom builds. ZeaIQ ships them, ready to configure.
LangSmith Fleet agents reach Slack, Teams through your own Azure Bot, and mail tools. ZeaIQ adds WhatsApp, SMS, a branded web widget and phone numbers.
LangSmith tracing and evals are excellent, but we found no hours-saved or value reporting. ZeaIQ reports hours saved, net value and cost per case for every agent.

To be fair
Yes. LangGraph agents can call ZeaIQ agents and workflows as MCP tools or over A2A, and ZeaIQ can use LangGraph agents through MCP. ZeaIQ itself runs on Microsoft Agent Framework.
Yes. Agent Ops records every turn with tokens, cost, latency and tool traces, runs evals with rubric judges and simulated users, and can gate publishing on them. It also reports ROI per agent.
You build and host the agent UI, approvals, policy enforcement, channel integrations, document review, voice, audit and ROI reporting, then keep them running. ZeaIQ ships those parts.
Bring one real use case. We build it with you on ZeaIQ and show the governance, audit and ROI views your stakeholders will ask for.
